Help Samir Survive A Famine
Donation protected
Hello guys, I am Samir Al-Kilani from Gaza, 21 years old. I was in my third year of study before this brutal aggression that destroyed our lives and our universities.
I study at the College of Engineering and Information Technology in the Android Programming Department. I was at the Islamic University, which was extensively destroyed by the occupation and is no longer fit for study.
As for my family, my father paid all his savings to buy a beautiful, independent house for us and we finished building it in September 9, a month before the aggression. Then we lived in it for a month. We prepared the furniture and other things, but we were not happy about that because the occupation warned us to evacuate our homes and demolish them on the first days of the war.
I created this campaign in order for you to help me rebuild my life and complete my education abroad to be a support for my family, which consists of 6 members. I need you to pay the costs of traveling abroad, which at these times amount to $7,000, so that I can go out, work, and support my family.
Be our support and support our cause. Thank you for reading.
Here is a picture of our house after the war:
But now, I live in a tent like all the people of Gaza, and we suffer from basic supplies such as gas and water. These are pictures of our suffering in cooking and raising water.
An afterword from the fellow who's helping manage the fundraiser:
Hi guys! My name is Adam, and I live in the US, like many of you reading this do. The reason I'm helping Samir is because he, and many other Palestinians, have been put into a cycle where their everyday lives are completely disrupted. This isn't normal to experience, and I have to remind you that the human body and mind isn't meant to deal with this kind of trauma for this long. Samir is as old as I am. We are still very, very young. This is a time in a person's life where they should be allowed to branch out and find out who they want to become. Samir currently doesn't have this option. His life has been turned upside down. He is likely the age of a friend, or a nephew, or a coworker you know. He definitely shares interests with some of you: tech, coding and engineering. It is painful to imagine someone you know in such a bitter situation, but I implore you to imagine it for a second: it is awful, and it exactly what is happening right now to many young Palestinians. He and I would be very thankful if you could put even what you might spend on a late night gas station snack run towards his campaign. Of course, he isn't going to be able to spend it on little luxuries like that, but it will buy him much more necessary supplies like food, tent patching supplies and a dry place to sleep. Thank you for reading this. Even if you can't donate (I totally understand! Please don't feel bad. <3) sharing this around with others online or wheat-pasting it around town (been looking to get out more? here's a fun idea!) will help us keep Samir alive.
